Curious? Here’s why hosting a group trip might just be the smartest (and most fun) move you ever make.

At a Glance: Top Reasons To Host With Best In Travel

  • A free host spot built into every trip cost, with options to cover extras through your margin
  • A new, sustainable income stream
  • Authentic connections with your community through real-world experiences
  • Custom itineraries that reflect your style and niche
  • Admin, logistics, and payments handled for you – so you get to enjoy the fun parts

1. Travel for Free 🏖️

Want to explore the world without draining your bank account? Hosting gives you a free host spot. That means your accommodation, on-trip activities, and core inclusions are covered.

Flights and personal extras aren’t automatically included, but that’s where your host margin comes in. Many hosts choose to build flights and other costs into their margin so they walk away net-zero or with profit on top.

Mini example:

12 guests x $350 margin = $4,200. That’s enough to cover flights, extras, and still have cash left in your pocket.

2. Create an Additional Source of Income 💸

Hosting trips isn’t just about travel – it’s about turning your influence into a sustainable revenue stream. You’ll earn commissions on every booking, with no upfront costs or financial risks. Many of our hosts are surprised by just how rewarding a sold-out trip can be.

How the numbers work

  • We help you set a fair per-guest margin that balances value and profit
  • Transparent costing shows what’s included vs what sits in your margin
  • You can dial your margin up or down based on demand and destination

Pro tip
Once you’ve run a successful trip, you don’t need to repeat EOIs or surveys for the same destination – you’ve proven demand. But if you’re thinking of trying somewhere new, an EOI is a great way to validate interest and grow your email list before launch.

3. Create a Stronger Bond with Your Audience 🤝

Nothing strengthens a bond with your audience like experiencing the world together. A group trip creates deeper connections, unforgettable memories, and unique content that will fuel your socials long after the journey ends.

Build your database while you build excitement:

EOIs and short surveys don’t just measure demand – they also grow your subscriber list, capture preferences, and give you a warm audience ready to book.

Travel brings people together. Not only will you connect more deeply with your audience, but your guests will connect with each other, creating new friendships and a sense of community that lasts long after the trip ends.

The snowball effect:

Guests from Trip 1 often become champions for Trip 2. That means referrals, repeat bookings, and momentum that builds each time you host.

5. Build Your Brand 🚀

Hosting trips is one of the most authentic ways to grow your brand. You’ll be able to showcase your knowledge, create engaging content, and position yourself as a trusted leader in your niche.

Amplify your visibility:

Content you can plan in advance:

  • Teasers before launch
  • Daily reels or stories on tour
